I don't count the calories, but, generally, I think the calories are pretty low. As follows is a typical day's menu:

Breakfast: 2-3 scrambled eggs/2-3 sausages
Lunch: Hamburger patty/small salad(I don't even always have the salad).
Dinner: 2 hotdogs, roast beef or chicken.
Snack: A box of Slim Jims(2 carbs)

That's pretty much it. The think that I do that is against recommendations, is that I have 1 cup of coffee in the morning and 2 packages of Splenda, but I find it hard to believe that this could be the culprit.

About 4 years ago, I lost about 128 pounds on a low fat diet, but my doctor definitely thinks that I'm sensitive to carbs, which is why I'm trying Atkins. Also, I've regained around 25 pounds and wanted to take them off quickly, but that's not turning out to be the case.

I'm also on birth control pills...I take them continuously because of migraines(so I never get a period). I'm wondering if that could be the culprit, but I can't really just go off of them.

So whadya' think? Is it hopeless? Thanks!!!
